The calls you miss while working with your hands
When do snow removal companies miss calls?
You're plowing from 3 a.m. and can't touch the phone
First-time callers rarely leave a voicemail—they hang up and dial the next snow removal company on Google.
One storm brings a week of calls in a day
Your phone still rings first. Only when you can't answer does Riley pick up, filter out spam, and get the job details.
Seasonal contracts get signed in the fall, while you're finishing other work
Instead of losing the job to a voicemail beep, you get a concise text in seconds with the caller's name, number, and request.

Questions snow removal companies ask about Riley
Can Riley tell customers when the plow will arrive?
No. Riley doesn't see your route. She takes the address and request and tells callers you'll confirm timing.
Does it make sense for a seasonal business?
Yes. Your heaviest call days are the days you're busiest plowing, and you can cancel online when the season ends.
What does Riley cost for snow removal companies?
Riley is $149.99/month. That includes your behind-the-scenes forwarding number, the call minutes, and the text alerts—with no per-call or per-minute charges. Cancel anytime by text or online.
Do I keep my snow removal company's phone number, and does my phone still ring first?
Yes. You keep your current phone number and your phone always rings first. Conditional call forwarding (*71 on Verizon, **61* on AT&T/T-Mobile) only sends a call to Riley after you don't answer.
Do I have to log into a dashboard or learn software?
No. Riley is 100% text-first. After any missed call, Riley texts you a short summary: who called, their number, and what they need. Reply CALL to call them back, or reply YES [NAME] / NO [NAME] to approve or decline an appointment request.
How do appointments and calendar scheduling work?
If you connect your Google Calendar from your account page, Riley checks your open times, default job length, and drive buffer. She never confirms an appointment on her own—she texts you the request first, and only texts the customer a confirmation after you reply YES [NAME]. If you reply NO [NAME], she leaves it to you to call the customer personally.
What happens when a caller wants a real person?
If a caller prefers not to talk to an automated assistant, Riley offers our live human backup when available (7am–7pm MT), or takes a quick name, number, and message for you without ever promising a fake callback time.
